Life Groups

Life Group FAQs

Why have Life Groups?

God made us relational beings and created us to live in a community with one another. God's purposes in our lives are not just fulfilled through a vertical relationship with Him, but through horizontal relationships with other people.

When Jesus was asked which is the most important commandment, he said, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:28-31) Our Life Groups provide the opportunity to connect our hearts and lives, creating the friendships that hold the church together. (Colossians 2:2)

What Life Groups are available?

New Life Groups are formed on a semester basis that loosely follows the school year - fall and winter/spring. Check out the posters displayed in the foyer of the church or browse all the opportunities to connect with other members of Des Moines Fellowship and grow in your relationship with God.

Why is this important?

Discipleship doesn't only happen in a structured environment or by going through a series of Bible studies. It also happens while "doing life" and having fun together - any time, anywhere, any way we are connecting with people with the intention of loving and encouraging one another, of speaking truth into one another's lives, and helping each to move one step further in our relationship with Christ. This means that our God-given passions and talents can be used to build bridges to other people, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey.
